Best Makeup Primer No. 10: DHC Velvet Skin Coat, $22.50TotalBeauty.com average member rating: 9.0*
Why it's great: "The chemists at DHC knew what they were doing when they created this under-makeup magic," gushes one faithful reader. "It smooths out skin, leaving it flawless and creates a true velvet-like canvas that disguises fine lines and wrinkles." Other readers agree, claiming the makeup primer covers all flaws and is "perfect for all skin types."

Purminerals color correcting primer is the absolute best, it neutralizes under eye darkness as well as the redness from zits and acne scars. I honestly could wear it alone, it stays on the entire day and basically does the job of foundation. My skin has never looked more even, it keeps oil at bay and yet is not drying whatsoever.

The DHC Velvet Skin coat is a good primer. Prime Time too. I was very surprised not to see Clarins Beauty Flash Balm on this list. It is the gold standard. Any time I have a client that does not take care of their skin I use it first. It is very forgiving and makes skin look like silk.
